Don't accept strings too long to fit in char[N] with trailing NUL.

Browse source 
It was previously possible to assign "hello" to a variable backed by char[5]
storage in C, and the array contained the correct character data but without
the trailing NUL, which was unexpected in C.

This is not allowed any more, only "helo" can fit into a char[5] now and
anything else fails the type check, just as it already happened for the longer
strings before.

Closes #122

buffers in C code.
This is a potential backwards compatibility break: a "char buf[5]" containing "ho\0la" was
returned as a string of length 5 before, but is returned as a string of length 2 now. Apply
"char FIXSIZE[ANY]" typemaps to explicitly choose the old behaviour.
returned as a string of length 5 before, but is returned as a string of length 2 now. Also,
it was possible to assign a (non-NUL-terminated) string "hello" to such a buffer before but
now this fails and only "helo" can fit.
Apply "char FIXSIZE[ANY]" typemaps to explicitly choose the old behaviour.
